WordPress 2.3 is Out

WordPress users, rejoice. The much awaited WordPress 2.3 release is now here. Dubbed “Dexter” (as a tribute to saxophonist Dexter Gordon). It now features goodies like tagging support, plug-in update notification, and URL handling improvements for starters. Anyway here are the highlights of the latest release:

Native tagging support – Tags! Finally! And best of all, there are importers for those using Ultimate Tag Warrior, Jerome’s Keywords, Simple Tafs, and Bunny’s Technorati Tag.

Update notification – WordPress now uses a new api.wordpress.org service that consolidates information about the tags you are using and provides suggestions when available.
